villa is situated within a ten minute walk to golden sandy beaches
in Colakli. The crystal clear Mediterranean sea lapping
the shore. There you can take part in many watersports activities
including Paragliding, jet skis and Banana Boats. Alternatively there is now a free shuttle service from Aquarius
Villas to Fizz Beach a short drive away. The bus will come
and collect you from the villas and take you to the beach where
you may use the free sunbeds and shade with food and drink service
from the beach bar. By night this becomes a restaurant and
often offers entertainment including “Turkish nights” with
live music and belly dancing.
A ten minute taxi or Dolmus ride will get you to the bustling
Old Town of Side with its ancient ruins and harbour area. There
you will find bars, restaurants and shops galore selling everything
from Turkish delight to leather goods , clothing and jewellery. At
the end of the peninsular stands the impressive Temple of Apollo
and Athena, a must see, particularly at sunset. Inside the
city gates to Side is the stunning 20,000 seat amphitheatre which
hosts Jazz and classical concerts at varying times of the year. Nearby
is the Roman museum containing a cross section of locally unearthed
objects.
Side is flanked by two excellent beaches of Golden sand, East
and West Beach. The Taurus Mountains loom in the background
offering stunning scenery.
If you have a car Alanya is an hour away and well worth a visit.
The Castle offers fantastic views for miles around, beautiful beaches
stretch for miles and there are boat trips available to see inside
secluded caves. These often include time for snorkelling
around the fabulous coastline and lunch.
Half an hour the other side of Alanya is the Dimcay River. Here
you can sit and eat with your feet in the river or lounge around
on floating rafts. After take a dip in the clear waters and
have fun on the slides. This is a fantastic day out and will
keep adults and children entertained.
